Philly Radio: GZ Attorney Is A Former Jock

Don West
Don West, the defense attorney for George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case, used to be a DJ at WMMR 93.3 FM.

According to the Philly Daily News, former 'MMR DJ Michael Tearson said West worked for the station between 1977 and 1978, during the second tenure of legendary program director Jerry Stevens.

“Although he appears to have a made-for-radio name, not even the longest tenured employees recall his time at 'MMR," said program director Bill Weston. "

West received a bachelor's degree and a master's of education from Penn, according to his LinkedIn profile, and has a history in radio, working at Los Angeles' KROQ 106.7 FM before his WMMR shift.

He then moved up to Toronto's CHUM 104.5 FM.

West has been practicing law in Orlando since the early 1980s.
